Simon finally understood why demons who actually have good backgrounds that were comparable to or even higher than the Shadowgrave Clan, would choose to attend its academy and not the other elite academies.
The Shadowgrave Clan was not like other academies which had other paths of power for students to climb.
The Shadowgrave Clan was solely an assassin clan, and despite the fact that it was an elite academy and clan, it was limited path and a path that was not suited for every demon.
’Hmm. At least I’ve satisfied my curiosity now.’
He looked at Akaza.
"I guess those are all the questions I have regarding that."
Akaza shook his head slightly.
"You’re a strange one."
Simon’s lips curled up slightly.
"You’ll say that quite often."
Akaza tilted his head slightly.
"Quite often? Are you insinuating that this relationship will continue? Don’t forget that it’s because of the poison I’m still working for you."
"I don’t like you."
Simon chuckled at Akaza’s words.
"Akaza. What is your dream? What is your ambition?"
Akaza frowned, and a confused expression could be seen on his face.
"Why are you asking these questions?"
Simon’s lips curled up slightly behind his mask.
"Because I want to know if I should keep you by my side, Akaza."
Akaza’s expression beca extrely dark, and a threatening aura began to leak out from him into the room.
"You want to remain your slave for a very long ti?"
Simon released a sigh, then he shook his head slightly.
"That’s not what I an, Akaza."
He paused briefly.
"I have ambitions, Akaza. Great ambitions... I want to beco a Demon King, and-"
Before Simon could even finish his sentence, Akaza burst into a loud laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"
Akaza’s laugh was so loud that those who were four doors away from Simon’s room could hear his laughter.
Simon was not pissed or angry. He was indifferent, and he calmly waited for Akaza to finish his laughter of mockery and disbelief.
So seconds later, Akaza wiped the tears in his eyes and controlled his breathing.
"I can’t rember the last ti I laughed so hard."
Akaza shook his head, then he peeked at Simon while wiping the tears from his eyes.
He wanted to see if Simon was angry that he laughed or if he was portraying any emotion, but all he saw was indifference and he could not help but click his tongue.
"How boring."
He shook his head, inhaled and exhaled deeply, then he spoke.
"Do you know how high your ambition, madness, and foolishness has to be for you to say that you want to beco a Demon King?"
"Don’t let even get started on the fact that you don’t even have a Royal Bloodline. You only have a Common Bloodline, not even a Noble Bloodline."
"Sure, you may be talented and powerful because the difference in the lower major ranks are not so wide and unfathomable, but when it cos to Greater Demons and above, you’ll see just how wide and unfathomable the gap is."
"You want to beco a Demon King?"
Scoff!
"Nearly every demon has the sa ambition, but one’s bloodline, talent, resources, and a lot of other things are factors one cannot ignore."
"Like as if becoming a Demon King is so easy."
Simon was silent and did not give an imdiate response to Akaza’s words.
Akaza was very right to say those words, but for Simon, he imdiately noticed a problem.
’He might never beco a Demon King.’
Many demons and even humans don’t know, but there was one thing that was very important if one wanted to beco a Demi-God or a Demon King.
Mindset.
One has to have the mindset that it was possible for them to beco a Demon King or a Demi-God.
And one has to believe that they could do it irrespective of the odds.
It was sothing that many always ignored, and even so of Simon’s friends in his past life did not have the mindset or belief that they could beco Demi-Gods.
It was one of the things that held them back.
’If he’s not careful, he might not reach his full potential.’
Right now, Simon was wondering if he should invest in Akaza or if he should make Akaza a disposable tool.
He had already lost Thorgan because of an unfortunate situation. Losing Akaza who also had a Royal Bloodline would be a sha.
’I’ll observe him more, then I’ll co to a decision. His ntality can be changed with enough ti and manipulation.’
He knows that changing Akaza’s ntality would take ti, and one of the reasons why it would take a lot of ti is because his goal is not just to beco a Demon King.
He wants to beco a Demon God... A True Demon God.
And if Akaza was going to stay by his side, he would need the ntality of a mountain.
A calculating glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Akaza, then he spoke.
"But you know that I can improve my bloodline, right? With ti, my talent would rise."
Akaza scoffed without hesitation.
"The resources to improve one’s bloodline are extrely expensive. If you think they are stones and pebbles you can pick up on the road, then you’re in for a surprise."
Simon shook his head with slight disappointnt in his eyes.
"You still underestimate ."
Akaza looked at him with a frown.
Simon nonchalantly shrugged. "Anyway, with ti, you might change your mind about following ."
Akaza raised a brow. "I highly doubt that."
Simon shrugged in a manner that said "oh well."
There was silence for a mont, then Simon spoke.
"By the way, you never told what your ambition is. What do you want to beco?"
Akaza’s lips curled up slightly into a teasing smirk.
"A demon king."
Simon’s lips could not help but twitch.
"Very good."
Akaza laughed, then he released a soft sigh.
"Well, let’s just say that I want to beco the leader of the Martial Clan and I want the Martial Clan to beco the Martial Kingdom."
Simon smiled. "Not bad."
